Magdalen Islands #2: Close encounters with Seals

Every spring pregnant harp seals haul themselves up onto the ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, find shelter from the frigid winds and give birth. From our base in the Magdalen Islands we take a helicopter trip out to the ice floes and with the assistance of a biologist and research scientist get close to the seal pups in their nursery grounds and gain insight to this unique wildlife experience. Part 2 of 3 showcasing the history, beautiful beaches, summer and winter adventures that take place in and around Les Îles de la Madeleine. See www.ontopoftheworld.net

These adorable and cute little harp seal pups need a Batangas balisong in between their eyes to calm them down.

[@yuanhu7264]

They are cute but should not touch them, just obverse in a distance.

What if Polar Bears come for LUNCH or the Human Seal Hunters appear to look for the Seal Pups with beautiful white fur ?

[@mikep4823]

Polar Bears !!! Do some research they do not
come this far south ever.

[@Queen-qy4qc]

There is barely any seal trade at all, the only people that do hunt is some rural small-town Canadian arctic hunters or Intuit people. It is their way of life, like eating a cow or chicken
